Essential oils are complex mixtures of biologically active substances used since a long time as flavouring agents and constituents of number of commercial products. Currently, their importance is more highlighted due to their increasing demand for food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. Recent scientific literature revealed the antimicrobial, antifungal and antioxidant potential of essential oils. In view of the multiple applications of essential oils, their characterization based on their chemical profiles, is of great importance. In the present study, some indigenous species of Lamiaceae family were screened for the isolation of essential oils. The hydro-distilled essential oils were characterized for their physico-chemical and biological activities. . GC and GC-MS analysis of the chemical constituents of the isolated oils mainly revealed the presence of monoterpene hydrocarbons, sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, oxygenated monoterpenes, and oxygenated sesquiterpenes. The investigated essential oils exhibited good antioxidant, cytotoxic and antimicrobial activities as measured by different in-vitro assays and experimental models. The variations in the yield, chemical composition and biological activities of most of the essential oils investigated in the present study, with respect to species and harvesting season, were significant.

مولانا پروفیسرسید محمد اجتباء ندوی

آہ! مولانا پروفیسر سید محمد اجتباء ندوی مرحوم
افسوس کہ گذشتہ ماہ ہندوستان کی ملت اسلامیہ، ایک اور نمایاں اور قابل قدر ہستی کی خدمات سے محروم ہوگئی، خبر آئی کہ مشہور عالم، عربی اور اردو کے ممتاز صاحب قلم مولانا پروفیسر سید محمد اجتباء ندوی نے ۲۰؍ جون کو دہلی میں داعی اجل کو لبیک کہا، اناﷲ وانا الیہ راجعون۔
مولانا مرحوم ہمارے علما کے اس طبقے سے تھے جن کی تعلیم و تربیت خالص دینی بنیادوں پر استوار ہوئی لیکن جن کے فیضان نظر سے عصری تعلیم کے ادارے بھی بہرہ ور ہوئے اور جنہوں نے اپنے علم و عمل سے جدید دانش گاہوں میں صرف دینی اداروں کی عظمت و توقیر میں ہی اضافہ نہیں کیا بلکہ اس مذہبی حمیت و غیرت اور خالص دینی تشخص کی پاسداری، بڑی استواری سے کی جس کا اولین سبق انہوں نے اپنے والد ماجد مولانا سید محمد مصطفی سے حاصل کیا تھا، ان کے والد ضلع بستی میں حضرت سید احمد شہیدؒ کی دعوت اور طرز تربیت میں اپنے جدامجد سید جعفر علی نقوی کے جانشین تھے جن کو امام شہیدؒ کی قربت ومعیت حاصل تھی، حضرت سید احمد شہیدؒ سے تعلق کا مبارک اثر ان کے پورے خاندان پر رہا، جس کی وجہ سے والدین نے بچپن ہی سے اسلامی و اخلاقی کہانیاں سنا کر اور خود اپنے عمل سے ایسی ذہن سازی کی کہ آئندہ زندگی میں وہ جہاں بھی رہے، راہ حق و جادۂ اعتدال سے ذرا منحرف نہیں ہوئے، دارالعلوم ندوۃ العلما کے بعد انہوں نے دمشق یونیورسٹی اور علی گڑھ مسلم یونیورسٹی سے سندیں حاصل کیں اور طالب علمی کے بعد معلمی کا دور جامعہ ملیہ اسلامیہ، کشمیر یونیورسٹی اور الہ آباد یونیورسٹی میں پورا کیا، پروفیسر ہوئے، صدر شعبہ ہوئے، اس کے علاوہ درمیان میں کچھ وقفہ مدینہ منورہ، ریاض و...

مكاتیب رسول اور عربی خط نویسی

Islam has borne a deep and lasting impact on all aspects of human life. Inevitably language, which is a crucial factor in the build-up of society, has also been re-vitalized and re-invigorated by Islam. It was Arabia where Islam dawned its early rays, hence it is the Arabic language that got evolved under the revolutionary spirit of Islam. This deep impact has been caused through the two basic sources of Islam i. e. Quran and Hadith. Since our focus is Hadith, hence we shall talk on the impact of Hadith on the Arabic language. Hadith has a lasting influence on the Arabic language, its literature, and the various genres of the Arabic literature. The topmost among these diverse genres that dramatically evolved under the impact of Islam is 'letter writing'. The genre of letter writing has been passing through its evolutionary stages before the Prophet-hood of Muhammad (S. A. W) . Yet the clarity and style that it adopted; the purposefulness that it aspired and opted for; and its utility as an important official correspondence document all happened in the hands of our Holy Prophet (S. A. W) . In short, it turned into a regular genre of literature. Letter-writing owes deeply to the life infusing spirit of our Holy Prophet (S. A. W) for its lay-out and design, its aim and purpose, and basic features. Our Holy Prophet (S. A. W) left a lasting impact on the letter writing that shall always be a source of inspiration for the faithful.

A Framework to Predict the Student S Performance in Programing Courses

Academic grades prediction is considered as one of the hot research areas since last decade, which comes under the domain of educational data mining. It has been observed that in undergraduate computer science programs, programming courses are considered challenging. This results in higher tendency of earning lower grades, failures or drop-outs than other computer science subjects. An early prediction of the students who have high probability of failure (known as at-risk students) will enable the instructors to intervene and provide extra guidance to learners. An accurate prediction of student?s grades can directly influence the overall quality of any degree program and the retention rate of the institution. This research presents a machine learning based classification model for undergraduate students grades prediction, enrolled in any programming course(s) in traditional education system. The proposed model is built after careful collection and pre-processing of data, appropriate feature selection, and model evaluation based on four metrics namely accuracy, precision, recall and F1-score. Six widely used supervised machine learning techniques including Random Forest, Artificial Neural Network, K-Nearest Neighbors, Na?ve Bayes, Ordinal Regression, and Support Vector Machine are used after tuning and optimization. The data used for this research is collected from a private sector university in Lahore. The collected data covers two major domains: student?s academic record and demographic data. The results show that Support Vector Machine and K-Nearest Neighbors give highest scores (ranging from 81% to 94%) for all the evaluation metrics and for all the seven programming courses considered for this study.
